The first stop on our tour was not an empty nester, but a young mother of two. A young mother of two whose baby had been up, though cheerful, nearly the whole night. (Her house was shockingly clean as well; I am clearly the one with a problem.)

One of the most delightful features of her home was a collection of bird prints. She is moving (as we speak) and was considering hanging many of them en masse in her dining room.
